Re: REboot... REboot....REboot. Not sure if they're reboots or just remakes:
War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise
The Day the Earth Stood Still with Keanu Reeves
I haven't seen the second one but neither of these classics needed to be remade.
Oh. Add "The Fog" to the list, too. The remake was just dumb. |

| I agree the War of the Worlds Tom Cruise was an utter POS. Dont forget the C. Thomas Howell version was worse than awful on the Sky Fy channel.

Yeah, quite a blurry line there as something more significant than characters has to change in order to even think about remaking a movie.
Just thought of another one while sitting here: Knight Rider. Yeah, TV series, but they tried rebooting it. Unfortunately, I think they were on the verge of figuring out the right character dynamics in the final few episodes before it was canned.
As for BSG, I do like the original (every Saturday at 9pm on RTN) but the remake is certainly more riveting. IMOHO, that's one that they certainly got right. |

1 edit | Hulu has all the original BSG from '79 available for free streaming via their site....
They also have a fair selection of Anime & Sci-Fi there as well...
I recommend using the Hulu Desktop application for viewing....
